Parents of the HS Class of 2016 (Part 1)

Northeastern EA results are rolling out in waves. Started at 4:00 EST. Likely continue until 8:00-9:00 EST.

Not unexpectedly, there are reports of some access outages on their portal due to the high volume.

I haven’t posted much but I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. I’ve learned so much from all of you.
I wanted to share some good news. My DD was just accepted to Northeastern with scholarship money. I wanted to share because her GPA is considered low by CC standards (3.5 UW) so there is hope for all those students who think anything below 4.0 spells doom. #:-S

Congrats to all with acceptances.

Congratulations @riverboat Great news!

@riverboat That’s awesome!! Congrats!!! Just curious, what were her test scores? I am reading the thread and feeling like there isn’t as much leeway on those. Still waiting here!

Well, we got some good news. The college that told S he had missed the opportunity to get merit scholarships sent him a personal email today telling him if he got all of his stuff in ā€œat this this point,ā€ (which he has) he would still be in the running.

Congrats to your D @riverboat !!! <:-P You both must will be thrilled

Whoo-hoo!!! Congrats to @riverboat 's D and to your son too, @Mysonsdad! So nice to see good news rolling in! :slight_smile:

Congratulations to @riverboat. S was hesitant to apply there and then started looking more into it and saw their 91% job placement rate for kids majoring in business. Now he is thinking about applying again. Plus they have hockey…

How bizarre.

My son got a ā€œCongrats on your acceptance, join us for an information reception at your local hotelā€¦ā€ email from one of his schools.

The problem is that he hadn’t yet been accepted.

So he emailed back ā€œDoes this mean I’ve been accepted? I haven’t received an acceptance letter.ā€

They responded ā€œOops, sometimes we make mistakes too. Join us for an information receptionā€¦ā€

My guess is that the acceptance letter will arrive very soon… do you think I’m reading this right??

S’s roommate got deferred at Yale. Feel really bad - kid was keen on Yale. S did text - he got into Northeastern with a merit scholarship. Now, he has one choice close to home :slight_smile:

Congrats @arisamp

Congrats @arisamp

D16 has just got into her single U.S. safety. There has been a lot of ā€œBut what if I don’t get in anywhere?ā€ She’s very happy.

Congratulations @riverboat !

Congrat @boulders and @arisamp !

There’s a party in the house!! First acceptance!!! Woohooo!!! :D/ <:-P

@Mysonsdad: Sing it with me, ā€œTurn the beat around!ā€ Look forward to your next high notes. Glad to hear your good news.

Congrats @happymochi and @bouders and @arisamp and everyone else (and glad to hear @mysonsdad’s S has a shot at the merit scholarship!)

Got good news to share!

S got admitted to Northeastern and was selected as University Scholar with full tuition scholarship!

We couldn’t be happier :slight_smile:
